Form7 and blank spaces, hole puches and a legal back

[kidman]

Form7 software leaves some items, such as Joint Debtor Name, blank by default, if your not filing jointly. It will not allow you to enter "None" for joint debtor unless you lie and tell it that your filing jointly, then print the form. But many books say to leave nothing blank. Are some blanks alright, or must your petetion have every otherwise empty space marked "None" or "Not Applicable" if your filing as single and without representation? Copies can be costly.

Will the person processing your forms punch holes for you if your not confident that you can do double hole puches through so many forms according to their involved specifications?

What does a FAQ that says that every petition "must be affixed to a legal back", mean?

TIA. I realize these questions are stupid, but I want to have as much information as possible before I go in this week and not have to ask too many questions.

Most of these questions might be best answered by your bk court clerk.

Don't worry about leaving the joint debtor section blank...If there isn't a joint debtor on the first page of the petition, you don't need to right none everywhere on the petition that mentions a joint debtor. Hell, even attorney software leaves blanks.

Don't worry, its not a big deal. In most cases, substance takes precedence over form.

I used Form 7 software to prepare my BK. Not only did I not have any problems, but the Trustee was very impressed with the professional appearance of my paperwork and thought I had someone else help me!

I wouldn't worry about blanks. When the form prints out, the word NONE or Not Applicable appears.

Also, check with your local bankruptcy court website or call them with any additional questions. They can't give legal advice, but they will tell you which forms you need and how to present them.
